The mission of the Butte County Public Health Department (BCPHD) is to protect the public through promoting individual, community, and environmental health.

Public Health Meth Lab Cleanup

The Methamphetamine Contaminated Property Act of 2005 requires the clean-up of the property contaminated by methamphetamine labs so it can be safe for occupancy. This law also requires the Public Health Officer to respond to complaints of potentially contaminated property. Response includes evaluating the property, testing for contamination, notifying and posting of warning notices, issuing orders prohibiting occupancy if the site is not safe, as well as overseeing the ultimate return of the property to a safe environment.
